Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, January 19, 2025.
We start with breaking news from the past few days. Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that flags in Virginia will be raised temporarily for the inauguration of incoming president Donald Trump on Monday, January 20, 2025, and lowered back to half-staff at sunrise on Tuesday, January 21, 2025[4].
Moving on to our job market snapshot, the Virginia Beach cybersecurity job market is booming, with a 31.5% growth projected through 2026. Entry-level salaries start at around $78,753, and 68% of local businesses plan to invest in cybersecurity solutions. Major employers like Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin are actively seeking talent, especially in areas like cloud security and IoT protection[2].
In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on developments in our city.
From city hall, the Virginia Beach City Council held a special formal session on January 14, 2025, discussing various matters including property developments and appointments for boards and commissions[3].
Weather-wise, we're expecting a brief warmup to start next week, but for today, it's a chilly morning after many in Coastal Virginia and North Carolina woke up to their first snow in years[1].
In new business activity, we're excited about the upcoming Restaurant Weeks in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News, Williamsburg, and Portsmouth, which will feature a variety of local eateries[1].
Looking ahead to community events, there are plenty of activities planned for the next few days, though specific details are not available today.
In local school achievements, we don't have any updates today, but we'll be back with more news soon.
For a feel-good community story, we're highlighting the vibrant tech scene in Virginia Beach, which offers numerous professional development and networking opportunities, making it a prime location for cybersecurity careers[2].
In today's crime report, we don't have any significant incidents to report from the past 24 hours.
Finally, a quick note on the unemployment rate in Virginia Beach City, which was 2.80% in October of 2024, according to the United States Federal Reserve[5].
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
